    Everything was normal, then he unknowingly hit on his friend, and ended up in Equestria. Now he must struggle, against his own anger, the forces of darkness, and some rather hungry creatures that would love to make him into a snack.

    This is a part of the story universe called "Chess Game of the Gods", which was created in Rust's mind in the form of "The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog" which was continued upon by Blackwing in his story "Griffin the Griffin", and now there are humans running about in the world to amuse some crazy gods.

    Interesting concept but feels very rushed. Instant acceptance and understanding after being thrown into another world has always been a fallpit for new writers.

    ....I see......... Very interesting. Where in the world did you get so many skeletons?

    Really an interesting concept but you should try to flesh out what is happening a lot more.

    Also the fact that he is instantly okay with being undead and that he has to eat other creatures to gain strength is not a very good start to this.

    >>768627 Ah I see your point about him being ok with being undead. I plan on touching on that more in the future as for the whole him eating other creatures in order to gain strength 1. He only attacked the dragon after he saw that it was hostile. Remember it did blast the first skeleton for no reason 2. Humans eat other creatures all the time. The fact that the dragon is sentient doesn't really mater to him so much after he decided that it would be a danger to anything it ran into. I do appreciate you asking why though and I may go back and try to edit it the first chapter agean to make it feel less rushed and so that people don't think he went to Equestria and decided to just start eating all the creatures he could find. Thank you for the questions and for reading the story.:twilightsmile:

    "with a self defense ple." I think it is spelled Plea

    I will call interesting concept. But yea it would require a "quite mental" person to suddenly become okay with all this.

    >>769197 In all honesty though, if you saw a skeleton "looking" (doesn't have eyes I'm guessing) at you. Could you honestly say you wouldn't try to kill it with fire? I know I sure would.

    And ok with the graveyard. I s'pose that sorta works... But it would have to be a fairly big graveyard with how many skeletons he was calling. (It didn't give an exact number, but at the rate he was going it would have reached 100 easily.)

    I made some changes after seeing the replies. I hope this makes it a bit easier to read. Also if anyone would be willing I NEED a proofreader. Any input is much appreciated seeing as this is my first story and I want to do a good job with it.

    >>769571 Hmm.. I'll take your word for it. I'm not overly familiar with cemetaries.

    Also, We would have to schedule everything ahead of time. And I don't work outside of gdox. And I can be a bit of a pain with how hard I ride the people whos stories I edit sometimes. But if you need an editor bad enough to consider me, then I'll be happy to give it a go. Just don't expect me to not point out things that bother me. :pinkiecrazy:

    (I knew I would find a use for this someday)

    Oh, and just to avoid confusion. When I say I'm going to "edit" your stories. I mean I'm going to go through and highlight any mistakes I find. Not that I'm going to fix them myself.

    >>769197 please make a blawg post tagging this story when you have updated the first chapter, second thing I agree with him all suddenly ok and shit, third was dess the only friend he had, did he know she was a goddess, basicly did he know who she was and stuff.

    #19 · Chapter 1 · 48w, 1d ago · · ·

    >>780417 Basically Dess didn't show him her powers before and was watching to make sure he was the type of pawn she wanted. The whole being her boyfriend thing is something she decided on after getting to know him better. Most questions will be cleared up in time. This is only the first chapter.:twilightsheepish: Also as for him not freaking out. I will touch on that later. Not sure about the blog thing. I'm not sure what it would entitle. I am new to fimfiction.

    someone were the: where- probably, do you know about where the mistake is? It would help loads if you did.

    a nose tackle a position in American football on the defensive side.

    kidding hu. I: What. - not sure where the confusion is on that, I was trying to make him kind of sound like he was pondering the situation. I did add a comma there though :pinkiehappy:

    give, me:  comma seems misplaced.- Once again if you could tell me about where the mistake is I will try to fix it. I have already looked over it an missed it that is the only reason I ask this.

    the meal into magical energy I now had: what are you trying to say? - I was saying that he turned some of the dragons physical flesh into magical energy, that he kept inside his body.

    Also, thank you very much for taking the time to point these things out, I do appreciate it.:heart:

    >>1645223 well the thing is it was going to be set up in someone elses universe, and i really would rather make another story and set it up how i like. Even though the story itself hasn't gotten to the point that it is all that well established in the universe it is stuck there in my mind, thus making it very hard for me to do anything with.
